Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Separate lines from text file Post 302389956 by linuxpenguin on Tuesday 26th of January 2010 01:02:42 PM

Code:
awk -F '|' '$5 ~ /^Active$/ {print $0}' filename

May be I should do some explaining too Smilie

awk is a unix filter.
-F : field separator, in your case its the character '|'
the awk script says that if the $5 (5th field) ~ (matches) the pattern /^Active$/ (^ and $ mean begins with and ends with respectively), then print $0, i.e the entire line.

Lemme know if that helped.

NAME
Test::Valgrind::Action::Captor - Mock Test::Valgrind::Action for capturing output. VERSION
Version 1.13 DESCRIPTION
This class provides helpers for saving, redirecting and restoring filehandles. It's not meant to be used directly as an action. METHODS
"new" Just a croaking stub to remind you not to use this class as a real action. "save_fh $from, $mode [, $to ]" Save the original filehandle $from opened with mode $mode, and redirect it to $to if it's defined or to /dev/null otherwise. "restore_all_fh" Restore all the filehandles that were saved with "save_fh" to their original state. The redirections aren't closed. SEE ALSO
